Question by Jon_E_Girl: How long does a business have to keep service contracts? i.e. telephone companies, cellular phone companies?

How long do they have to keep the signed contract on file? For example, I signed a service agreement 11 years ago. Does the company legally have to keep that agreement on file for 15 years or as long as the service that the contract was signed for is still being used??? or can they destroy it after 7 or 10 years?
